Males have inherent physical advantages over females in competitive sports. It's a biological fact.

[Most] Males have inherent physical advantages over females in competitive sports.
But theres a whole world of psychology that completely eludes you.
But most, the majority of, transgenders do not want to play any sports.
Speaking of psychology, finally, you [may be beginning to] understand... Out of hundreds of thousands in school/college sports, 10-20, 40 at the most, and overwhelmingly males trans-gendered into females (but, for some reason, hardly any females trans-gendered into males) want to play sports against [physically] weaker cis-gender, which has been demonstrably shown to cause a huge [psychological] discomfort, anguish and sense of profound unfairness among their cis-gender opponents, their parents, friends, sports fans and outsiders.
Which could be easily avoided by explaining to such individuals before they want to change their gender that they will not be able to play competitive sports after transition - and let them decide if it's a small price to pay for their psychological well-being, which is the reason why they presumably want to change gender in the first place. Or they can wait to transition after their sports careers are over... e.g., like this one:
"Caitlyn Jenner opposes trans girls in women's sports as unfair" - www.bbc.co.uk
If "progressives" keep treating it (and some other issues) as a 1960s "civil rights" issue, they'll keep missing the point by a mile - the issue of "fairness" and gender in sports is very different from color of skin and gender in everyday life.
Many Democrats - moms and dads - and their daughters participating in competitive sports are turned off by and are against the trans in sports, as was polled and demonstrated in 2024 elections.
Democrats should be the first ones to understand and explain that fact to activists who don't get it. Or keep losing voters and easily won elections, because they still haven't figured out [the Pareto Principle of] 80/20 percent issue rule in politics, and have been on a short end of this on several issues in recent elections. Even CA Gov Gavin Newsom tried [awkwardly] get on the overwhelmingly winning side of this issue after elections.
transcripts.cnn.com - Trump: "And people would say they're 80/20 issues. I say they were 97 to 3. I would say 97 to 3. ... This is the best issue of all."
As bad as Trump is with percentages, as a populist (and a lifelong scammer) he got 80/20 rule down cold long ago:
podcasts.apple.com - "Trump's 80-20 Strategy... Trump's focus is on the 80-20 issues that are widely favored."
You can't always get what you want, especially in politics at the expense of millions of votes. Or Dems can keep at it and Let It Bleed.

... 40 at the most, and overwhelmingly males trans-gendered into females (but, for some reason, hardly any females trans-gendered into males) want to play sports ...
... alienate conservative voters by supporting transgender rights or alienate liberal voters by ignoring transgender rights ...
Still not getting it - it's not a "liberal/conservative" issue, it's at least an 80/20 issue, and it's not about general "transgender rights" but the special "rights" of tiny number of males trans-gendered into females to PLAY in cis-female SPORTS, which are usually separated from male sports for very good reasons, and pissing off millions of people who champion women's rights and would generally vote for a Democrat.

Check this out: The existence of Trans people ...
Check this out: it's not about the existence of Trans people.
Oh so it's just like interracial marriage. Lots of anguish from outsiders.
Still clinging to false equivalence fallacy with civil rights of hundreds of millions...
Still don't want to understand both the numbers involved and very specific subset of issues and attempting to conflate the "rights" of participating in SPORTS by a tiny "very special circumstances" group with general civil rights of millions of POC and religious rights - as I've already explained.
And this is not just the US issue. But if that's one of the hills the US "progressives" want to die on... Dems will have tough time getting and holding onto power for decades, no matter how badly MAGA freaks eff up.
Apparently some people can beat their heads against the wall and expect different results longer than anticipated.
You can't always get what you want, especially in politics at the expense of millions of votes. Or Dems can keep at it and Let It Bleed.
Too bad we don't have a strong SANE third party, just different tiny ones with their own sets of inconsistent ideals and unworkable kooky ideas...
